Artist Inspiration: Ayan Farah

Ayan works with linen, canvas, and cotton, using natural elements like clay, mud, sea salt, vinegar, india ink, indigo,  and exposes them to sunlight or rainwater to achieve her effect. For that which is past, that which is now, I will be taking inspiration from her work and dropping cotton in the ocean, and leaving the salt and snow to do what it will for a few days.

#Repost @afronovagallery with @get_repost ・・・ @seankellyny - Sean Kelly is delighted to present Ravelled Threads, a thematic exhibition of recent work by ten artists from Africa who utilize fabric to create textiles, weavings, embroidery, performances and installations. These disparate artists are united in their backgrounds, both living and working throughout Africa. Each artist is distinguished by the diverse and complex relationships that run through their varied geographical, political, and gendered narratives. Ravelled Threads is organized in collaboration with Mariane Ibrahim. The exhibition will open Thursday, June 21 from 6-8pm. A number of the artists will be present for the opening. Ravelled Threads features a diverse roster of emerging, mid-career and established artists including #IgshaanAdams #JoëlAndrianomearisoa #AyanFarah #AboubakarFofana #AlexandraKarakashian #AbdoulayeKonaté #LawrenceLemaoana #SenzeniMarasela #ZohraOpoku and #AthiPatraRuga. . 📷: Lawrence Leamaoana , embroidery on kanga textile, 2018, Textile, 155x115cm Courtesy: Afronova Gallery, Johannesburg and Sean Kelly, New York . #RavelledThreads #SeanKellyNY #MarianeIbrahim @marianemia @lawrence_lemaoana #johannesburg #southafrica #arttextile #textileart #politicalart #kanga #kwezi #womanism #dailyfeminism #resistanceart #protestart #artivism
